Biological neural network

In neuroscience, a neural network describes a population of physically interconnected neurons or a group of disparate neurons whose inputs or signalling targets define a recognizable circuit. Communication between neurons often involves an electrochemical process. The interface through which they interact with surrounding neurons usually consists of several dendrites (input connections), which are connected via synapses to other neurons, and one axon . If the sum of the input signals surpasses a certain threshold, the neuron sends an action potential at the axon hillock and transmits this electrical signal along the axon.In contrast, a neuronal circuit is a functional entity of interconnected neurons that influence each other .
